Chapter 172
Episode 172: I don’t have time so I’m riding on your back.
“Where on earth are you coming from??”
Josin greeted the sword dance with an angry face. It was only after waiting for a long time at the guesthouse that I encountered the sword dance performance..
“I'm on my way back after getting some air..”
The courtiers would not be able to imagine it. It is said that sword dance is the way to meet one's father, meet the Murim lord, and return..
And that he was the prey of the sword dance. He came to his feet and stuck his head into the tiger's jaw..
“From beginning to end, I'm free on the subject..”
He took out a dagger from his chest. It was a dagger with words congratulating Jin Ha-ryeong on his win, which he tried to give to Jin Ha-ryeong but failed to give it to him..
“Should I stab your master to death with this? I think this would be a perfect ending to this..”
“The best outcome of this matter would be for Confucius to marry Xiaoje of Jin, and for me to gain 100,000 nyang..”
“Then you should get your money's worth.”
“You have to have the money you received to make it worth the money..”
“How much do you think it would be in terms of money not to stab you in the neck with this dagger??”
Josin was worried that the marriage would not take place like this and was anxious. Moreover, she even shouted at Cheol-gon, who personally came and pressured her into marriage, so she had to proceed somehow. This was the reason why he, who had never waited for anyone in his life, waited for Sijin, who performed a sword dance in his guesthouse..
Geommugeuk said, looking down at the dagger on the table..
“When you need a room.”
“One room? one room?”
“How many descendants of prestigious families have you seen while living as the granddaughter of the Murim Lord? Everyone will brag about their family, money, and military achievements, but when she sees it, how pathetic and boring it must be.?”
Not long ago, the courtier also boasted about his money and family, so I had nothing to say..
“We need to show something different from the restraints of a prestigious family..”
“So what is that?.”
“There is a room for everyone, pretty girls, ugly girls, good girls, bad girls, young girls, old girls. This is it.”
Geommugeuk raised his dagger and tried to stab the courtier. Then Josin quickly grabbed Geommugeuk’s wrist..
“Are you going to kill me? do you want to die?”
“This is it.”
“what?”
“Save her from danger. The man who saved his life. What more do you need?”
“!”
Josin's eyes widened. I thought this was it. Why didn't I think of this? I felt like I was belatedly blaming myself..
“It's an old-fashioned method that's been around for hundreds of years, but it's also the best method that always works. Is there anything in the world as powerful as the debt of one's life? Instead, you will need to plan well. Jin Sozer is a quick-witted person..”
I already felt the sword dance. It's already halfway through the court process..
“Oh, and something really important! You should leave it to someone you trust. If you make a mistake and Jin Soje gets hurt or even dies, the tribute's life will be lost along with it..”
The sword dance was expected. If Josin is related to Cheonmyeonghoe, he will ask for help from there. You can't entrust such an important task to just anyone..
“You should never use someone from the Confucius family. If it is revealed later, it will be a huge problem. Are there any people who are completely unrelated to you? You must be an expert enough to overpower Jin Sozer. And must be a trustworthy person.”
The moment he heard those words, Jo Shin thought of one person..
Cheolgon.
That scary person was definitely suited for this job. Of course, I didn't know if he would accept it, but there was hope. His mission was to get himself and Jin Ha-ryeong married as soon as possible. Because he was anxious enough to come and put pressure on me..
Geommugeuk noticed that Josin was thinking of someone..
‘also! There's someone around.’
Geommugeuk pretended not to know anything and said.
“Please don't involve me in that dangerous task! I did everything I had to do.”
Of course, the intention was to please include me. It's human psychology to want to do something that tells you not to do it, but now Jo Shin had a reason to include sword dance..
“you have to help me till the end.”
“I just hate dangerous things..”
The courtier imagined. When this servant and Jin Ha-ryeong are in danger, he appears and saves them. It shows the contrast with this incompetent guy. Yeah, there's nothing complicated about it. This is the end.
“And you have to bring Jean Sozer with you. If I take him with me and a villain appears, anyone will see that I manipulated it.?”
“great. Let me help you. Because I need to get paid too. If you're going to do it, you need to hurry. If this happens after Qin Xiaoze officially joins the alliance, the Wulin Alliance will begin an official investigation..”
Even if it wasn't for this reason, the courtier's mind was busy..
“Please wait and do not leave the room until I contact you..”
“All right.”
The courtier left in a hurry. Sword dance quietly followed behind him..
* * *
Josin and Cheolgon met in a shabby warehouse near Murimmaeng..
“I would have told you not to contact me unless it was something important related to life or death..”
“It's that important. I need you to help me just this once..”
“What's going on??”
“If you help me, I can marry Jin Ha-ryeong..”
At that time when Cheolgon looked like he was saying something out of the blue..
“Please try to kidnap her. Then I will appear and save you..”
Cheolgon was so dumbfounded that he almost cursed for a moment..
“Hey there, Prince Joe. you're drunk?”
“I'll be honest. I shouted at you, but right now, Jin Xiaoje has no intention of marrying me..”
Jo Shin revealed everything honestly. I decided that begging would be more effective for this cold and scary man than any other tactic..
“In this situation, if you pressure me to marry this woman, what talent would I have to marry her? If it were any other woman, I would have made it happen by threatening her, but the other woman is the Murim Lord's granddaughter. If I'm so frustrated, I'll even try to use this method.?”
“Would this shallow trick work??”
“That's why I need you. A person who has the skills to fool Jin Ha-ryeong. Someone who can definitely subdue her without hurting her.”
“So, this means that after I subdue Jin Ha-ryeong, you will appear and save him. If your skills kick me out, I'll believe it.?”
Cheol-gon considered Jo Shin to be one level below Jin Ha-ryeong..
“Why do you think I am weaker than Jin Ha-ryeong??”
The courtier revealed his prayers. It was a sharp momentum that was not typical of the late Jisoo, and it was not at all inferior to Jin Ha-ryeong. The courtier also had a secret trick of his own..
“Isn't your mission to get me married to Jin Ha-ryeong? If you miss this opportunity, you will never be able to carry out your assigned mission. Honestly, I don't care. I'm only doing this because you're forcing me to marry her, so why should I be worried??”
Cheolgon was worried. Although it was a ridiculous suggestion, if two people get married through this method, their mission will be fulfilled..
“You said you wanted me to grow into a big tree? Well, wouldn’t it be wise to give fertilizer to the seedlings sometimes for them to grow well??”
Cheolgon thought for a moment and nodded..
“Good. Let's try it.”
When Cheol-gon accepted, Jo Shin's face brightened..
“Oh, and in the process of subduing her, make that bastard an asshole. Cut off an arm and a leg.”
Cheolgon said with a blatant look on his face that he was really bothering me..
“If you hate it that much, it would be better not to kill it..”
“I want to see how she comes out when he's in misery..”
The courtier laughed coldly, recalling the situation in which the bastard was crippled from start to finish. Jin Ha-ryeong says she feels sorry for him and wants to take him with him for the rest of his life? I was sure it could never happen..
“If you show that kind of sacrifice, I will approve..”
He just wants to see that Jin Ha-ryeong is a snobbish and insignificant woman..
To the courtier, Jin Ha-ryeong was still a defiled woman who was interested in her servant. Even if I marry her, I will never love her again..
Cheolgon felt sorry for such a courtier. I don't know if it was because I was stupid or because I was still young, but I thought I would never do it..
“Please let me know when the time and place are decided..”
Cheol-gon left first and Jo Shin followed..
Two other people appeared where they disappeared. They were Geommugeuk and the Murim lord Jin Pae-cheon. After Jin Feicheon said he would stay in the closed room for a few days, he was secretly moving around with Geommugeuk..
Jin Feicheon was shocked to see Jo Xin’s true appearance. I really had to suppress the urge to run out and smash it to pieces..
“Why don't they catch that Cheon Myeong-hoe here??”
“Our target is not authors. Although the author sticks to it, it is ultimately just a consumable product. No matter how much you interrogate them, they won't lead you to the Heavenly Order..”
Judging by his appearance so far, Lord Cheonmyeonghoe was not someone who could be captured by just one of his subordinates..
“So what are you going to do??”
“Our target is that courtier..”
“What are you going to do with your court??”
“I will take him to the gates of hell. Let's see what Joyback will do when we push Josin to the edge of the cliff. The person who will guide us to Cheonmyeonghoe is Joy Baek..”
Jin Pae-cheon was secretly impressed by the intelligence and unstoppable drive of the sword dance. Really, if it weren't for the Demonic Cult expert, I would have done whatever it took to make him my son-in-law..
‘What a waste..’
However, let alone a son-in-law, Geommugeuk was a potential enemy of the political faction Wurim. That also looks too dangerous.
Concealing his true feelings, Jin Peicheon spoke bluntly:.
“There are now four days left.”
* * *
The next day, Jin Ha-ryeong wore his favorite military uniform and left his residence..
Geommugeuk asked me to go to Dongho to play..
She was in a good mood the whole ride. At times like this, she was able to see how hypocritical she was..
As much as I felt good, I also felt sad..
‘If it weren't for the servants.’
Behind this feeling was the thought that she could not or would not marry an attendant..
And she knows. That he would never cross that line of status..
‘You will regret it later. You pathetic bitch, you snob! Just live alone. live alone.’
While thinking about this and that, the two arrived at Dongho..
Geommugeuk, who had been looking at the lake in silence for a while, spoke first..
“Who said that? Saying goodbye is better than meeting.”
“Why are you suddenly saying that??”
“I'll be leaving in a few days.”
“what?”
“Thank you so much.”
She was surprised by Geommugeuk’s words..
“where are you going?”
“In my hometown.”
She felt sorry. Because I liked to be alone, I only had a few friends, but none of them gave me this much intimacy. The words “don’t go” came up to my throat..
But it's not like I can take responsibility for his life. If you join the Murim Alliance, you won't be able to see each other often because you'll be busy..
“Later you will become the Murim lord.”
“what?”
That was when she opened her eyes in surprise..
Someone ambushed her from behind. She was so preoccupied with the sword dance that she did not notice the opponent approaching..
The moment I turned around in surprise.
Crackling!
Cheolgon, wearing a mask, instantly overpowered her demonic blood. Because there was a difference in skill and it was a surprise attack, she was pinned down..
Of course, Geommugeuk sensed him approaching from afar. I was prepared for even the most unexpected situations. Because other variables could have occurred..
Cheol-gon, who had subdued her, turned his gaze to the sword dance..
At that time, Jin Ha-ryeong shouted..
“Not that person! don't kill me!”
Jin Ha-ryeong thought that the masked man would kill Geommugeuk. Obviously, if that was his goal, there was no way he would have saved the attendant who was with him..
“no! please! Send it to me!”
Despite her pitiful cries, Cheol-gon walked up to her in stride and tried to cut off Geommu-geuk's arm with one sword..
at that very moment!
Cheolgon’s sword stopped in midair. A huge presence felt from behind. Before he knew it, all the fur on his body was standing on end, and his survival instinct was screaming at him to run away. If it were any other time, I would have run away without looking back..
But my body didn't move. He was drowning in the sea and struggling. It was in the middle of a vast ocean with no ships or islands to rescue it..
Cheolgon desperately increased his strength and turned around..
A huge tsunami of unknown height was surging in front of me. The Murim lord Jin Paecheon was standing right behind him..
“……shit!”
I desperately tried to turn and run away again, but I was quickly overpowered by the demonic blood before I could take a single step. No matter how much of an expert Cheolgon was, in front of Jin Peecheon, he was just a second-class critic..
Cheolgon couldn't understand this situation..
‘Why did the Murim lord appear here??’
Originally, after cutting off this bastard's hands and feet, a courtier was supposed to appear and save her. But why?
If things are going wrong, the courtier should show up now. And while smiling, he said, “I made this joke to impress Jin Ha-ryeong,” and I have to cover up the situation. I need to say, “This person is my subordinate.”.
But the courtier didn't even show up..
At that moment, a thought came to mind that sent shivers down my spine..
‘pitfall?’
Could it be that he sold himself to the Murim Alliance? Otherwise, there's no way he wouldn't show up.?
Meanwhile, Geommugeuk noticed the courtier hiding in the forest far away..
‘don't come out!’
Because the division between Cheolgon and Josin was what Geommugeuk hoped for..
Josin was hiding in the forest and watching the situation. He was greatly embarrassed by the appearance of the leader..
‘ruined.’
What are you going to say to the leader when you go out? You were trying to save me by faking a kidnapping? At that moment, the marriage will be lost forever. Besides, who will explain who Cheol-gon is??
But it couldn't stay like this. Because I couldn’t let Cheolgon get caught like that..
I tried to leave, but I couldn't move. He thought it was because he was afraid of the leader, but in fact, the energy released by the sword dance was secretly pushing him. Confused and scared, he didn't notice it at all..
‘shit!’
In the end, Josin decided to withdraw from this place and take care of the situation. When I stepped back and turned around, my body moved as it pleased. He left there without looking back..
Jin Peicheon freed his granddaughter's demonic blood..
“grandfather! How did grandpa come here??”
“I'll explain everything later..”
Now it was important to keep things going as planned..
Jin Feicheon and Geomugeuk looked at each other and nodded once..
Jin Feicheon soared into the air with the iron gun that had been suppressed by demon blood held at his side and disappeared from there in an instant. It was truly a spectacular light technique that left one in awe..
Jin Ha-ryeong asked Geommugeuk.
“What is all this about??”
She felt something was going on that she didn't know about..
“Let's go back too. There is no time for this here. I can tolerate dizziness well when I'm going to sleep.?”
“What does that mean??”
“Are you holding it in well?.”
“I have never felt dizzy while in flight..”
“If you feel dizzy, close your eyes. You shouldn't vomit on your back..”
Geommugeuk turned his back and lowered himself..
“Get on your back. No time, come on.”
Because the situation was unusual, she was placed on Geommugeuk's back. Are you running on my back? why? I wasn't even hurt? She was like, let's see what happens..
“You were worried that I would get dizzy while carrying you on my back.!”
